what are you meaning jail or chapel gareth?

caledonian combine marking put back 24 hours. no marking for maidstone tonight. weather outlook is poor for the weekend at this point according to forecasts currently available.

weather for saturday, sunday, monday not looking good.

is an enclosed transit van acceptable transport for saturday racing?

any news on arrivals?

kow did the birds get back then?

delboy we both forgot to mention the midland fed last year yb open only had one day pigeon from leyland around 170 mls to central scotland. i think. the figures show just how ridiculous this continual attempt to beat nature is.

delboy the midland cannot come away from the route they are on. they suspended me for walking away from that route and a good number of others left. they have had horrendous racing for five or six years that i know of. the officials have driven the bus right over a cliff. they are so obsessed by being proved right that the annual slaughter of their pigeons plays no part in their decision making. before i was sacrificed in 2003 the midland had around 2000 pigeons going to their leicester open. on saturday they had 360. the same thing has happened to their yb open. anyone looking at the midland history down suicide alley is ill informed if they think the two routes are the same. the same people are also at the wheel of another bus which is heading towards the same cliff.

novice because you actually work with the material and have actually worked in labs all your days does not give you the right to question ib`s genius. this man actually knows everything about everything.

how many lofts have had problems in the last ten years and nothing said nor done. once again pigeonmanland persecuting the honest guy trying to do things right. great example from officialdom.

the end result is the shu must stand by or rebuke what the fed has done. why is the situation always taken to the extreme before anyone takes any notice.

that sounds the way to go novice.

what are the shu saying about the situation?

100% IB common sense appears not so common. simple answer no super theories needed. birds should not have been let go.

I`ll let gordon know she managed back.

it came into my loft carlsberg nice hen. gordon geddes took it down and liberated her this morning. good to see her home.

harry i got ten years for standing against what i felt and still fell is wrong. i dont stand on the sidelines i say what i feel is right. when i feel i need to say it. sometimes saying nothing is much more effective than saying the wrong thing.

race marking put back until tomorrow 03/05/08 earliest depending on weather. monday looks more suitable.at this point.

i would suggest anyone wanting to know the situation contact the committe by letter. there seems to be a fair bit of confusion on here. most of what i see is questionable re the situation with the saintes race. no individual on here represents the view of any organisation all posts are individual and opinions of the individual posting them. anyone wanting to know the nfc positon regarding scottish fanciers flying with the nfc contact sid barkel direct / sid.barkel@btconnect.com. anyone wishing to know the position with the snrpc and the saintes set up contact jessie keir / jessiekeir@yahoo.com when i see the posts about being governed by any english outfit it worries me immensely. rembrant2coo is posting his ill informed opinion and has no authority to post on any one elses behalf.

the marking facility at muirhead is for members of the nfc regardless of whteher or not they are members of the snrpc. the snrpc have i believe funds for performance and prizes in hand that have been ring fenced for snrpc members from this racepont. the snrpc are convoying with the nfc.

anyone who qualfies to send pigeons to nfc saintes can have their pigeons marked at muirhead, glasgow. anyone wishing to send must meet the membership requirements of the nfc and the race is under complete authority of the nfc. the snrpc put the time and effort into negotiatng the scottish facility for marking and has been involved in the arrangements for forwarding the scottish pigeons to sheffield via gordon geddes and john baillie. some people wanted to attempt 700 mile racing into central scotland. the snrpc being forward thinking listened totheir members and have once again come up with the goods. i believe overfly in one race with snrpc already did not stop scottish pigeons taking top rpra awards in a combine event.
